Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used
to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Air Compressor Pump: Compressed air into the air tank. Working air is not
available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open",
allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor
reaches "cut-out”: pressure, the check valve" closes", allowing air pressure to
remain inside the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve located on the side of
the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from
the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches"
cut-out" pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from
this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is
running or after the unit reaches" cut-out" pressure.
Motor Overload Protector: The motor has an automatic reset thermal
overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down
before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor
cools. If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check for a
possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and remain dim when
motor is started and is running.
How To Stop
1. Set the On/Auto/Off level to "OFF".
Before First Start-up
WARNING
Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely
followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and
when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
